I used to live in Triana, just on the back of those coulored buildings. I walked that street and crossed the bridge everyday to go to school.

I love this building, especially because it’s a pastry shop

The pastry shop sells traditional cakes and sweets. I wish I had bought one of each...

Mantecados and Polvorones

And speaking of food... Check out one of my lunches:

Papas bravas

Fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce and a huge slice of toasted bread with melted cheese, prosciutto and fried quail eggs. We were two and we couldn’t finish that one slice of bread!

Tosta con queso fundido, jamón serrano y huevos de codorniz

But yet again speaking of food, I owe you an ice cream recipe, don’t you think I forgot! Here it is: a triple swirl ice cream (peanut butter, nutella and dulce de leche). You people know I love to swirl, don't you?

Do you want an ice cream with your swirl?

TRIPLE SWIRL ICE CREAM

200 ml cream

200 ml milk

50 gr (1.8 oz) glucose

80 gr (2.8 oz) sugar

80 gr (2.8 oz) egg yolks

1/4 cup dulce de leche

1/4 cup nutella

1/4 cup peanut butter

Heat the cream, milk and the glucose almost until boiling point. In a bowl mix well the yolks and sugar. Slowly add the milk mixture to the yolks, always mixing so the yolks won’t curdle. Transfer everything to the pan again and heat on low, always mixing, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon but don’t let it boil. Pass thru a sieve and cool completely (preferably in an ice bath). Churn only when it’s fully chilled. When the ice cream is ready to take out from the ice cream machine, add the dulce de leche, nutella and peanut butter (a teaspoon at a time and intercalating), give it a couple of more turns just until dulce de leche, nutella and peanut butter start forming nice swirls thru the ice cream.

Last year you commented on my blog regarding the table settings from a charity luncheon. The event just finished again and I just put the first post up if you are interested. Also, I would love to live above that pastry shop.
